Precision Balance Assessment in Parkinson’s Disease: Utilizing Vision-Based 3D Pose Tracking for Pull Test Analysis

Sensors
Postural instability is a common complication in advanced Parkinson’s disease (PD) associated with recurrent falls and fall-related injuries. The test of retropulsion, consisting of a rapid balance perturbation by a pull in the backward direction, is ...

In Vivo Imaging of Glial Activation after Unilateral Labyrinthectomy in the Rat: A [18F]GE180-PET Study

Frontiers in Neurology, 2017
The functional relevance of reactive gliosis for recovery from acute unilateral vestibulopathy is unknown. In the present study, glial activation was visualized in vivo by [18F]GE180-PET in a rat model of unilateral labyrinthectomy (UL) and compared to ...

Heading direction perception in the horizontal plane is strongly driven by rotational stimuli in healthy and impaired in vestibular hypofunction

Scientific Reports
Self-motion perception relies on the central integration of vestibular, visual and proprioceptive sensory inputs into a coherent percept of self-motion. To better understand the central integration of linear and rotational stimuli, we examined rotational

A mobile electrical stimulator for therapeutic modulation of the vestibular system — design, safety, and functionality

Frontiers in Neurology
Low-intensity noisy galvanic vestibular stimulation (nGVS) is a promising non-invasive treatment for enhancing vestibular perceptual performance and postural control in patients with chronic vestibular hypofunction. However, this approach has so far been

Genome-Wide Association Study in Vestibular Neuritis: Involvement of the Host Factor for HSV-1 Replication

Frontiers in Neurology, 2018
Objective: In order to identify genetic variants associated with vestibular neuritis, a common cause of peripheral vertigo with a potential causative link to the reactivation of herpes simplex type 1 (HSV-1), we conducted a genome-wide association study ...

Subjective spatial orientation discomfort is associated with decreased real-world spatial performance and lower cognitive function

Frontiers in Neuroscience
BackgroundSpatial memory and orientation deficits often precede cognitive impairment in incipient dementia, e.g., Alzheimer’s disease. Therefore, early diagnosis of spatial impairment may be crucial to the initiation of an adequate therapeutic ...

Clinical Whole-Body Gait Characterization Using a Single RGB-D Sensor

Sensors
Instrumented gait analysis is widely used in clinical settings for the early detection of neurological disorders, monitoring disease progression, and evaluating fall risk. However, the gold-standard marker-based 3D motion analysis is limited by high time
